Video games are reviewed differently from movies and books. We feel that they have different characteristics and therefore use the reviewing parameters that we feel represent them best. Movies: - The movies are reviewed on a letter scale where a score of 'A' is highest and 'F' being the lowest.
Video Games: To further aid our readers to understand our scores, we have updated the following guidelines. - A score from 1 to 3 are for games that are full of glitches or hardly playable that make it very frustrating to play. In addition this would also include titles that lack any "fun" factor and make us wonder if they should be called a video "game"
- A score from 4 to 5 are for games that have a few good elements but are unfortunately overshadowed by many poor elements. This could also include games that are not inspiring and give a rather mundane experience. Any hardcore fans of the genre should definitely try the demo or consider renting before deciding to buy the game.
- A score from 6 to 7 are for games that are good and have some exciting elements but there are other factors that are flawed or not well done. These games could also be repetitive or those that provide a "been there, done that" type of experience. We would recommend that these games been rented to wait for them to hit the bargain bins.
- A score from 8 to 9 are for games that are great but have some minor issues that hamper the overall experience. These could also include games that do not feel entirely polished or those that fail to provide move the genre forward.
- A score of 10 is reserved for games that are truly epic. This could include games that truly revolutionize the genre and are very polished. These are the type of games that would be enjoyed by people that are not fans of the genre of the game.
- Our reviews also take into consideration the price of the game. If its a short game that is selling at full retail price, we will be more strict on it.
With all that said, these are only guidelines and not something we will follow like rule of law. There are many factors that can effect the score of a particular game. Therefore we always recommend that you read our whole review and even try out the demo before passing judgement. As humans we all have personal preferences therefore there are always elements that would appeal to one person but might be disliked by another. It should be noted that people that are hardcore fans of a certain genre or a game universe may find the scores lower than the way they would score them. That is only normal. The website is intended to service its visitors, ie you. We would like to hear from you for any feedback and suggestions. Feel free to comment or email us at
